I got this album as a present from my boyfriend, and I liked it a lot, yet not neccessarily this song that much. We went hiking one morning through this trail in the woods in the Sawtooth Mountains, got lost, and eventually reached our destination: Sweethearts' Bluff. The view was amazing. After that, as we were making our way back down, we came to this huge tree that had fallen over in a storm, he climbed over it first, and then I stepped onto the tree and he offered to help me down the other side (like a five foot drop) I expected to quickly hop down, but he slowly let me float down to the ground and into his arms. When I listened to this song after that, all I could think of was our hike and that moment. So for me, the words "In My Place" mean being in his embrace and enjoying the sunshine and tranquility of that morning.
